Annie from 5C*

It was many and many a year agoIn a unit called 5CThat a nurse there worked whom you may nowAs Annie who hates EDAnd this nurse she worked with no other thoughtThan to refuse patients from me

I was a nurse and she was a nurse,In emerg and floor 5CBut we fought with a fight that lasted all nightI and Annie of floor 5CWith adversity that the other staff,Avoided her and me

And this is the reason that long agoBack down in emergency,I yelled, “for crying out loud”,Get this patient up to floor 5CSo that I can get Spencer in,To clear the waiting room, indefinitely

Management, not half so happy at their deskWere badgering annoyingly,Yes! That was the reason (as RNs know, in emerg and floor 5C),That I went transferring to 5C tonight,Upsetting and angering my foe Annie.

But when the shift ends and when we all leave,With some who are older than we –Mostly as tired as me,Head on home wishing to drink lots of whiskeyWhile Annie and I bitched side by sideAbout emerg and floor 5C

Have a frightfully fantastic Halloween whether you're at work or not!*Both Annie and Floor 5C are FICTIONAL

About Me

Obvious Disclaimer

I like my job. I do not want to lose it for violating patient confidentiality. I have a fairly active imagination so altering identifying details is something I enjoy. Everything here is altered to protect patient confidentiality. If you think that a story is referring to you, it’s not. If you think a picture is from your medical exam, it’s not.
